Well, I hope that the blocking gets fixed, but its only half of the issue. The wildcat won't be right until the way defenders react to run/pass is addressed. Right now, this is a blog on handoff animations.

As I've said, I greatly appreciate the openness of the Madden team, and Ian in particular, but this blog doesn't tell me anything about whether the wildcat will work properly.

Nice Blog


Is there any way to get that pre snap shotgun stance for B-Roeth and others who position their back foot back a little for shot gun snaps?????????

Would be another little detail that would go a long way toward immersion

I think I saw a few new tackle animations, "fight for every yard" at the goalline. This game is looking sharp Ian.

I hope some Wildcat plays are installed into the Eagles playbook, not a whole lot, just some (like 6 or so). Although everytime I saw them run a Wildcat play, it never really worked out. However, with the additions of Maclin, "Shady", and Ingram, it seems that the Eagles would be more effective in running it this year since the personel seems to fit better. Maclin, Jackson, Westbrook, Booker, Curtis, and McCoy are ALL speedy guys alongside McNabb, who is known for his athleticism and with Ingram and Celek being the large-recieving kind of TE's that they are. There's huge possibilities of the kinds of combinations the Eagles can use all of these guys in different positions throughout the formation. Not to mention, their O-Line is lock this season which will allow TE's and HB's to go out on routes instead of stayin back to block and pick up another defender.

To all you complaining still, after the unprecedented effort being made by Ian and Team this year...STFU! If you still don't get everything you want in the game this year, just don't buy the game in August when it comes out. But to sit here and bitch/complain in APRIL at every turn is stunning. And to not give props to Ian/Team at this point is simply incredulous. Wow!

EA guys....thanks for the hard work as I for one believe you are pouring your blood, sweat, tears into this one for us....and WITH us. We realize (most of us, at least) it's not going to be a perfect game, but it's looking like a HUGE improvement over anything we've seen for the past 4 or so years.
Thanks and Thanks again.

On the Madden footage, can you give us a break down of which ones are slowed down replays and which ones are running at the normal in game speed?

Is Pat White really number 20?

[DreaIVIS]

Is it just me or does the game look much slower than their real life counterparts?

Is there going to be a game speed slider?
